Characterizing physical interactions between male and female mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) in relation to female receptivity and insemination outcomes using a hydrophobic fluorescent dye
Monica Cramer, Thomas M. Gabel, Laura B. Duvall
This study uses a hydrophobic fluorescent dye to track physical interactions between male and female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, revealing that copulatory attempts occur regardless of female receptivity and often fail to result in insemination.
